Day Rides
Daily Out Rides: Duration 3 hours. Our horses are well trained and safe for beginner, novice and professional riders alike. They are well-rehearsed with the different trails and very obedient. We have horses available for all levels of riding as well as different age groups.
The trails offer river crossings and a variety of cross country for the more adventurous. Riders can enjoy an action packed ride, or a relaxed walk through a forgotten land, beautiful winding paths, vineyards to sections of open fields over looking the Swartberge (Black Mountains)
We look forward to welcoming you to our trail-heaven.

HOOVES Equine Welfare
Committed to improve the lives of working horses, mules, donkeys and the people who depend on them.
Horses working for horses…
Hooves was formed to support and co-ordinate the rehabilitation and rehousing of horses, donkeys and mules in the Klein Karoo, Western Cape. Those who may have been neglected, left behind, forgotten, mistreated or simply unable to be cared for by their owners.
Karoo Summer Camp
This Donkey Trek is an extremely engaging adventure designed for secondary school learners with the aim to experience nature and to learn.
Together with donkeys the group will face the adventure of trekking, where learners will have to find and use their personal and group resources and strength while solving all those unexpected problems that will appear during the trek.
Volunteer Opportunity
Regular volunteers are the lifeblood of our nonprofit operation. We offer a place for volunteers to learn and gain hands-on experience in the proper care and handling of horses, donkeys and mules. We welcome all ages and abilities and are more than happy to help train new recruits.
We are based in Calitzdorp, Western Cape, South Africa.
